KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 16.—At the Wednesday afternoon's session of the commercial congress, letters of regret were read from Edward T. Atkinson, of Boston, and Senator William Stewart, of Nevada. Senator Stewart says he is in full sympathy with the western states commercial congress and realizes the necessity for united action of the west and the south to resist the absorbing avarice of the gold contractionists of the commercial centers of Europe and the United States. An oligarchy of •old monometallists either owned or controlled by the bonds they held every dollar of gold coin in existence. He advocated that the people break the corner by the restoration of silver to its proper place as money and thus free themselves !rom the hard conditions imposed upon ;hem. The roll of states was called for the introduction of resolutions, which were referred to the committee on resolutions as follows: By Louisiana—For the improvement of the Mississippi river; also a resolution on immigration. The latter reso- ution suggested that only those foreign immigrants who desired to become naturalized and who would make good citizens should be permitted to enter the country. The introduction of this resolution was greeted with great applause and much cheering. A resolution of a similar character was offered by the state of California. The resolution asked congress and the various states to enact laws providing that membership in the Mafia organization shall be a felony and that each member shall be held in the law to be an accessory before the fact of each of the crimes of the organization. This resolution was also enthusiastically received by the congress. Hon. W. J. Bryan, of Nebraska, introduced a resolution declaring that no advantage was to be gained . by the people from the system of reciprocity as at present prepared, "but we regard as essential to our welfare freer commercial intercourse with those nations which buy the products of our farms; that coal, iron ore, wool, salt, lumber, binding twine and cotton ties should be placed upon the free list; that the tariff on the necessaries of life should be greatly reduced and that the luxuries should be made to bear the heaviest burdens." F. A. Thompson offered a resolution recommending the construction- of a canal from the great lakes to the Atlantic. Mr. Smalley, of Minnesota, offered, a resolution recommending a gold and silver universal coinage, that should become aninternationalmediuin of exchange, the United States to take the initiative. Kansas favored the issuance of all paper currency on silver reserve. Mr. Barnett, of Iowa, recommended more stringent legislation against gambling. Green Clay, of Missouri,, offered a resolution asking congress to appropriate an adequate amount for the improvement of interior waterways and the lower Mississippi. A resolution from Mississippi by John Henderson asked better control of the .ticket brokerage business, as suggested- by the interstate commerce commission. Minnesota had a large batch of resolutions dealing with the tariff, money ' and railways. KANSAS CITY, Mo. .April 16.—A heavy thunderstorm caused a delay in the assembling of the commercial congress and it was 10 o'clock a. m. before the gavel fell. James Peabody, of Chicago, read a paper on "Railroad Pools." His argument was on the assertion that it was not so much low rates that people needed as it was stable rates. His aaper was well received. Gen. Charles W. Blair, of Kansas, read a paper on transportation as affecting commerce and .finance. . -He said the basis principle of his. argument was the government was the best which governed the least. Apply- ng this principle to legislation as affecting finance he said the government ought to provide as much money as was necessary to carry on he country's business, and then, leaye he question of finance alone. In! a ike manner tfee government ought als'o to keep its hands off commerce and transportation and let them be'gov- erned by natural laws. He thought here was too much-legislation and laid at the doors of congress' the - loss I American - shipping from - -the seas.'le predicted that if. a change was not made soon there w<»uld come a total oss of foreign'trade.. He said he want- d free trade but wanted it qualified by eciprocity. He wanted no legislation ending to centralization. Wealth, he aid, was the bone of the commerce of b.e present day. The world does, ot recognize that the factories are as" much corporations as railroads. Tie ormer are allowed to go on without interference, while- the railroads.'are - edged'.abput with' restrictions which ut down their business almost below a .ving point. The committee on resolutions adopte resolutions—by a vote of 11 to 8—ask ing for the free and unlimited coinag of silver; asking that the governmen issue a legal tender note which shal be payable in gold or silver suffirfen to do the business of the country anc asking that a ftirift' for revenue law only be passed. There will be a minor ity report by those voting against the resolutions. 'INDIANA. Column of Interesting News from Various Points. fl. Murdered Hlu Friend. COLUMBUS, Ind., April 17.—In February, Id90, at a schoolhouse in Hamblin township, Scott county, a secret meeting 1 of the Farmers' Alliance was held, and William Bowles was placed in charge of one of the windows to keep away inquisitive persons.

The window was raised, when Stoner approached and jestingly pulled it down. Bowles raised it, and again Stoner put it down. This was done several times, when Bowles became enraged and with a chair knocked Stoner down. While down Stoner drew a revolver and fired. The ball penetrated Bowies' heart, killing him instantly. Stoner was arrested on a charge of murder in the first degree. Thrse changes of venue have been taken and the case is now on trial in Jefferson county circuit court. Stoner's plea is self defense.
